Comyns were present. … (considerable discussion) … It was then proposed by Mr. Vicary, and seconded by Mr. Ketson, “That a committee be appointed to consider Capt. Washington’s and Capt. Spratt’s proposition, relative the harbour improvements, with an instruction and express declaration that so long as the Exeter Town Dues are collected, and nothing done by that port for the benefit of the Harbour of Teignmouth, the Commissioners cannot feel justified in making any outlay whatever for the purpose of improving the bar.” Messrs. Tozer, Whiteway, Kelson, Pinsent, Bearne, Curtis, Cartwright, and Vicary were appointed to the committee.
